Dagmar Bennett FRSA: New Voices from Wales

Fellowship news

  • Arts and culture
  • Diversity and inclusion

RSA Fellow Dagmar Bennett has released a new documentary as part of the BBC’s New Voices from Wales series, made by up-and-coming Welsh film-makers.

In a documentary exploring themes of identity and culture, ‘Village Style’ takes a touching look at the relationship between documentary-maker Dagmar and her uncle Keith, exploring their bond and telling Keith’s story through their mutual love of art and fashion. In a society where we can offer feel pressure to conform, this is a celebration of the power of being different.

Filmed in a close-knit South Wales community, it explores themes such as vintage shopping, disability, freedom and pride.
